What color is the hybrid license plate?
2 Answers
Hybrid license plates are blue. Blue is for ordinary vehicle license plates, yellow plates are for agricultural vehicles and engineering vehicles, green plates are for urban special vehicles, white is for military or police vehicles, and black is for foreign-related vehicles. Hybrid vehicles cannot obtain new energy license plates because hybrid vehicles are not classified as new energy vehicles. Only pure electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles are eligible for green plates. Hybrid vehicles have excellent fuel-saving effects. During starting and acceleration, the assistance of the electric motor helps reduce fuel consumption. The internal combustion engine can be turned off, and the vehicle can be driven solely by the battery, offering strong range capability. Compared to pure electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles have a significantly higher range capability.
Hybrid vehicle license plates in China are typically green, representing the category of new energy vehicles. Blue plates are identifiers for traditional fuel-powered vehicles, while white plates may be used for pure electric or other special vehicle types. However, as an environmentally friendly transitional option, hybrid vehicles mostly receive green plates. This policy helps traffic authorities manage urban air pollution control zones and prioritizes support for low-carbon transportation. I remember when I helped a friend pick up their car, the hybrid vehicle directly receiving a green plate saved a lot of time, and the government also offered purchase tax incentives to encourage more people to switch to eco-friendly options. The green plates are visually striking, making them easily identifiable on the road to avoid traffic restrictions. As the number of green plates increases, society's overall awareness of emission reduction is improving. Personally, I think this is a positive signal encouraging everyone to participate in sustainable development.
